Buffalo Solar Solutions Inc., the successful solar energy startup that opened in South Buffalo in 2015, is expanding into the Southern Tier with the opening of a second location. The new office will be located at 13 West Main St. in Cuba, N.Y.
“Solar energy just makes good sense down there,” said Tyler Uebelhoer, who owns and operates Buffalo Solar Solutions along with his wife, Alicia. “We chose Cuba because we know we can help a lot of people. If you look at any electric bill from that area, you will notice that residents are being charged almost 30 percent more per kilowatt hour.”
Buffalo Solar Solutions specializes in rooftop and pole-mounted solar systems, and recently introduced solar pergolas to their growing product portfolio.
Managing the new location will be Jim Lemkin, a Cuba native who returns to Western New York after a decade in California.
“I couldn’t be more impressed with Buffalo Solar Solutions,” said Lemkin. “My number one objective is to provide an amazing customer experience. Buffalo Solar Solutions goes above and beyond — from the discovery, planning and design stages to the solar installation.
“Communication is key for me. I need to be able to efficiently set proper customer expectations and update them throughout the process. Because of the phenomenal communication Buffalo Solar Solutions provides, I’m able to set those expectations and answer customer questions without delay,” Lemkin added.
Lemkin brings over a decade of experience in the solar industry. His “education first” consultative approach to working with his customers creates a no pressure, extremely informative experience. This allows the customer to make a decision based on facts and not incentives or fear.

Additionally, the Uebelhoers also announced that they are now a certified installer of electric car charging stations and power walls throughout the Western New York area for the new RiverBend/SolarCity factory in South Buffalo operated by Tesla and Panasonic.
